THE STYLE DIRECTOR

Shirts to stockpile: Whistles’ silk patch pocket shirts. We love the relaxed styling and boyish small collar of this #AW12 offering to accompany a sleek pencil skirt or mannish pants and heels

Loafer love: delighted to hear that our favourite Rupert Sanderson loafers are getting another innings for AW12

AW12 wishlist: APC’s hero trench coat to wear with a black polo neck and tomato 7/8th pants. How would you wear it?

Spotted at @mywardrobe #AW12 press day - these See by Chloe riding boots. Perfect proportions and luxe-looking leather

Spring style inspiration: Cropped boys’ pants, lace-ups and a leather clutch

We want to hear more, much more about new Schiaparelli muse and brand spokesperson, Farida Khelfa

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, we love the easy elegance of a bracelet over a sweater sleeve

Why don’t you… hang a ring from an heirloom string of pearls around your neck?

We love tomboy style…

The tomboy concept existed long before androgyny became a hot topic. Tomboy Style written by Lizzie Garrett Mettler explores the style and its icons. Photo shows Yves Saint Laurent and his muse Betty Catroux from the book.

Love the mix of a utilitarian sweater with luxe suede elbow patches. We would team this with white skinny pants and patent loafers or a pair of cigarette heeled court shoes. How would you wear it?

Rain or shine? When the weather’s this unpredictable, a trench and only a trench will do…
